How Iodine Accelerates Weight Loss by Supporting the Thyroid

Iodine is the missing element – the miracle mineral that fuels the thyroid and massively deficient in today’s Standard American Diet (SAD).

If adjusting your diet and exercising more hasn’t helped you reach a healthy body weight, you may have hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid gland. In addition to weight gain, other symptoms of hypothyroidism include a bad complexion, fatigue, forgetfulness, loss of sex drive, impotence, irritability and unhealthy hair, nails and teeth.

The healthy functioning of the thyroid is essential to maintaining metabolism and preventing the accumulation of body fat, writes Burton Goldberg in Alternative Medicine.

Iodine is completely missing in today’s modern diet, so all of the articles recommend supplementation, however I’m surprised none of them mention the Edgar Cayce Atomidine formula, made famous in the 1930’s and 40’s.

I kow this is for comments not questions, all of this sounds good, but I do have one question? I seem to have the above symptoms, but I am taking thyroid medication. Would this not be a good idea to take iodine as well?

This is a very good question. You have to be very careful in switching from drugs to natural compound therapy.

What I always strongly recommend is a phased out slowly program of taking BOTH the drug and the natural compound/formula.

Watch for any reactions, if everything “feels” right, after 10 days, reduce the drug intake by one third. Go another 10 days and again, reduce by one third.

Always call me direct each week, that is every 5 to 7 days so I can discuss your progress and advise you on the next step.

With the thyroid, adding Iodine rich foods is always a MUST. Get Maine Seaweed Co.’s Laminara, Dulse, Kobu and Nori from their website. These seaweeds are hand picked, dried and packaged. Crumble these into soups and over salads. Do this AT EVERY MEAL INTAKE.

Also get granulated sea vegetables to use instead of salt. Shake this over all your food and in your cooking.

With total elimination of all milk, cheese, ice cream and butter and switching to Earth Balance for your butter, soy milk or almond milk or the new Hemp Milk alternatives will also be of tremendous help. You are not designed to consume putrid hormonal waste from another animal.

Dr. G., I had to tell you of my progress so far. 45 minutes after taking my first dose of Thyroid Energy I felt better! I felt so fatigued for over 6 months and nothig was helping. I have been on Synthroid for 2 years, but the past year I had started feeling worse instead of better. 3 days after taking the Thyroid Energy I found that I just felt better over-all. I had more energy, I was no longer sleeping 12-14 hours, and even my mood was better. Infact, I haven’t even had a nap during the day since being on this product, and that is huge deal for me! Thanks for everything Dr. G.!

I am Audra Mathews and I am a 43 year old dental hygienist in the Atlanta area. The picture above is me with my beautiful niece, Emily.

Let me preface all the following with the fact that, in my past I was a competitive collegiate swimmer with a fondness of jogging and biking as a young adult; basically, I had a fitness filled life.

Then the problems started.

I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (thyroid condition), Benign Essential Tremor, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, unexplained enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits (complete with surgical removal and benign pathology), and an Epidermoid Cyst removal from my face. I have suffered for years with chronic wrist, neck and back pain, and last but not least, migraines.

Putting this in print, it reads: “one hot mess“.

Then in early 2013, I was introduced to Dr. Wayne Garland, Pamela Van Zee and the amazing supplements that changed my life. What a blessing. I began working hard to remove diet soda, meat, dairy, prescription medications and gluten from my life.

I seriously consider this a lifestyle change not just a diet change.

Remarkably, the change to a vegan lifestyle has not been a difficult transition for me. One week I was literally eating meat at every meal and the next week I was meat free. I believe it was the cancer prevention approach that Dr. Garland introduced with these concepts that sealed the deal.

Over time, the symptoms diminished, and I experienced less work related pain and stiffness. The tremors almost entirely disappeared, and I had fewer migraines and I began to notice more energy!

In fact, I found myself with enough energy to train for a half marathon on Thanksgiving Day 2013. Awesome! I was on my way back to my youthful me

Now, let’s fast forward to spring of 2014, just a little more than one year from beginning these amazing supplements. I had experienced some financial difficulties that temporarily transformed my budget and completely run out of these products one at a time without the funds to replace them.

Little did I realize to what extent these supplements had transformed my life!

“”Hi! My name is Brenna and I am now – literally – exploding with health!

I remember first being introduced to Wayne Garland’s supplements when my son was a baby. I confided in my girlfriend Brooke about my stress, insomnia and accompanying heart palpitations – all of the “fun” stuff that goes along with stress!

She’d met Wayne and had been taking his 5-HTP Formula for a long time.

I was shocked to hear that she had stress issues, because she always seemed to be well-rested, calm, and a generally-go-with-the-flow type of person. Alas, she shared that such was not always so, but that she’d been taking Wayne’s mega-nutrients and 5-HTP for years. She told me she’d never gotten sick while she was faithful to his products.

Being a stressed out, full time working, single mother, I was desperate for something that would keep me healthy and help me manage stress. I hated the thought of going to a doctor just to be given an anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications.

So, I skeptically, but hopefully, order my first 5-HTP supplements. The first night I took the 5-HTP, I was able to sleep and was pleasantly surprised to find out there weren’t any weird hangover feelings in the morning. I just felt … Good!

I have to say to this day, that was the BEST investment I’ve ever made for my health and wellness.
